Other ethnic groups besides Latinos ( except some Ricans) dont understand this and call us punching bagd and not " sleek", or coward in my book.

Nothing I post on is monumental, and sometimes it's not even that important to the sport. I kind of just get in there when something piques my interest. It's usually when I see something that I think is unfair that I choose to opine though.
As far as Angulo, I suppose we'll agree to disagree, because we're on opposite sides of the spectrum

I didn't watch the fight, so I'll reserve judgement. But the notion that this fight was fixed doesn't make sense. It seems got Angulo took quite a beating. If you're gonna throw a fight, you don't do it by taking a beating from a hard punching, strong guy like Nelo. Seems like he would have go down and gotten counted at at the first opportunity.

There is your answer, straight from his mouth. He was getting hurt from the opening bell.

Angulo looked lost in there
but he at least coulda gone on to the end
surprised the ref pulled the plug on him
if all he could do was show his toughness, fuck it, let him
anyway, Alvarez needed a showing like that after blowing weight
now get that big ass to MW and do something

Angulo hit Canelo 10 times harder than Floyd did. He hit Canelo as hard as he hit Lara, to the body and even and few to the jaw. It is just that that same punch hurt and dropped Lara. If it didn't it would have looked the same as against Canelo.
Canelo's hand speed is so much greater and his punches land with a kind of explosion whereas Angulo's punches are slower. In contrast, Angulo doesn't seem to be punching as hard, but he punched just the same as he always does.

Sure, Canelo was winning, but he was fading a bit in the stretch and getting backed up much of the last few rounds. And despite what the Canelo lovers say, Angulo was coming on. Canelo is too small to fight at this weight. His best punches weren't enough to stop the bigger Angulo. Classic little man goes up in weight and doesn't take his power with him. Besides which his so-called "boxing skills" never impressed me much. His game is to stand around to get the right distance for his short arms, which is exactly how he fought Mayweather last time. Mayweather would have knocked him out this time around, as Canelo has no ability to change strategies or adjust.
